Abstract
An axisymmetrical membrane element for large deformations is developed which is based on Ogden's non‐linear elastic material law. Special attention is given to the linearization procedure to obtain a quadratically convergence behaviour within Newton's method. Several examples show the applicability and performance of the proposed formulation.
